oh man.. what a brutal hit to the wall. I hope he pulls through and recovers.
He's lucky he was driving a right hand drive. I bet it would have had a worse outcome if it were left hand drive.

bOOOOOOOOOOOO.. that's so sad. 
i love watching V8 supercars. it's a shame that there will be one-less driver... i hate stories like this. i thought i'd just pop open this thread and see a bad accident where someone was going to walk away.. sadly, my thoughts were wrong..

Re: Austrailian V8 Super Car Accident (E-AT_me)
I'm wondering if head restraints like HANS, etc. are required for that series. He had massive head injuries from what I've read. I'm not familiar with those cars but does the driver sit on the port (left side/USA driver's side) or starboard side of the car?
